Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Markdown and Code Editor Gaps

Users struggle with editors that lack reliable rendering, navigation, collaboration, and file management for Markdown and code.

In their words

Just coding is kinda annoying with it, as long as you have to copy paste everything and there are no integrations / API options.

r/lumo on Reddit

my pain point was never the writing, it was the *managing*. Files end up scattered across a dozen folders and origins, and switching between them was the constant friction.

r/Markdown on Reddit

he is over 70 and late to technology, for him its hard to even use a mouse

r/writers on Reddit

my biggest problem is editing as I write... I waste a huge amount of time and energy just trying to stop editing as I write

r/macapps on Reddit

spends way too much time in figma just to bold one word in a paragraph

r/Design on Reddit

if conflicts turn out to be a real recurring pain rather than rare, that's a legitimate reason to rethink the whole thing

r/ObsidianMD on Reddit

Paligo will silently delete painstakingly constructed text.

r/technicalwriting on Reddit

it has been our 8 hour a day companion for the last few years

r/Jetbrains on Reddit

we'd very much prefer a visual editor with more integrated capabilities that allows for constant online collaboration

r/RenPy on Reddit

I am not going to renew since they claim they fixed a bug multiple times for the past year while in fact, it is not fixed and driving me nuts having to restart the IDE to reference code properly.

r/Jetbrains on Reddit

It's just a freaking input and I've been wasting 2 full days configuring it, testing it

r/reactnative on Reddit

performance starts falling apart once a document reaches roughly 60 pages

r/gsuite on Reddit

zed's tree will remain stale unless you re-close and open the file... you end up overwriting the file with whatever was in the buffer.

Hacker News

I write long text into browser textareas constantly and it is miserable

Product Hunt

developers and writers

Where they talk

  • r/HelixEditor
  • r/Markdown
  • r/macapps
  • r/vscode
  • r/Jetbrains
  • r/godot
  • r/webdev
  • r/LaTeX

Tools they use today

  • VS Code
  • Zed
  • Helix
  • Obsidian
  • git
  • Google Docs
  • Word
  • Godot

Why those fall short

  • slow, buggy find/replace, no running word count, PDF export issues
  • no tabs, split screen, refactoring or formatting
  • tabs are misleading and only one script visible
  • won't let them put own values in prebuilt table or resize custom table
  • conflict handling on the UX side is unclear; generic errors lose edits
